Extra Mile America Foundation

Going the extra mile is doing more than the normal...more than expected. Going the extra mile is extending ourselves in our efforts and our communication. Going the extra mile is getting back up after we've been knocked down, despite whatever has happened, and saying, "I still choose the very best for myself!"

The Extra Mile America Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that encourages positive attitude and action by empowering individuals, organizations, and cities to "go the extra mile." Through public campaigns, speaking engagements, and partnerships with nonprofits, we empower people to apply the extra-mile principle, reach their goals, and live a more self-directed life.

A fresh idea

Posted by on 17 October 2009 | 0 Comments

Today, I was in Hartford, Connecticut...my 19th city on the Extra Mile America Tour.

My host in Hartford...Hands On Hartford...was fantastic and the people I met today were powerful in their commitment to make a difference, but what really caught my attention was something the host organization was doing.

The Hands On Hartford group purchased a "for profit" franchise...the Huntington Learning Center. With an increasing demand for services, but a decreasing pool of funds from which to draw, Hands On Hartford has decided to think outside the box completely in order to raise money.

I sense they will be a model for many non-profits around the country to follow.
